15 Minute Cookout Solution: KFC-Style Coleslaw


         
           It’s not summer without a cookout, and it’s not a cookout without coleslaw. You could bust out a few KFC coupons and pick up some slaw for your next get-together, but there’s something about home cooking that really adds to the experience (plus, you can claim the praise when guests ooh and aaah over it!).
            Here’s a recipe for killer coleslaw based on KFC’s killer side dish that’s sure to compliment your next cookout perfectly.
INGREDIENTS
            8 cups finely-chopped cabbage (approx 1 head)
            ¼ cup carrot, shredded
            2 tablespoons minced onion
            ½ cup mayo
            1/3 cup white sugar
            ¼ cup milk
            ¼ cup buttermilk
             2 ½ tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
            1 ½ tablespoons white vinegar
            ¼ teaspoon black pepper
            ½ teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS
            For a really scrumptious slaw, the cabbage and carrots need to be very finely chopped – aim for pieces the size of rice.
            In a large bowl, combine mayo, sugar, buttermilk, milk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper. Beat until smooth.
            Add cabbage, carrots, and onion. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours minimum. This recipe serves 10 to 12.
            Who wants to spend time slaving over a hot stove when it’s already hotter than a firecracker outside? This recipe rocks because it’s quick, easy, and inexpensive – the perfect pot-luck contribution that’s also a universal favorite. Of course, if you can’t be bothered to chop cabbage, you can always print out a few KFC coupons and grab some on your way to the party – but then all credit goes to the colonel!
